Hello,
I am installing the latest version of cygwin, downloaded from
http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/cygwin and during the installation,
my anti-virus just reported the following problem:
Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Risk Found!
Security risk detected: Suspicious.MH690
File: C:\cygwin\bin\bitmap.exe
Location: C:\cygwin\bin
Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Risk Found!
Security risk detected: Suspicious.MH690
File: C:\cygwin\bin\metaflac.exe
Location: C:\cygwin\bin
Is this expected?!?
Regards,
N.

Norton\Symantec has a poor behavior detection method. Not only that
but they refused my offer to submit binaries for their analysis so
they could improve it. Even their newest Sonar 2 gives a false
detection on cygwin compiled binaries.
